Form & Verdict

Returned from 111-day absence to win a 17-runner C&D handicap on the second day of the festival; dropped to 7f for his second run at the meeting, and looked unlucky not to go close, since he suffered interference before running on well late; may turn the tables on runner-up Eddie G.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a Killarney maiden in July, on his first run beyond 7f; backed that up with a handsome C&D handicap win after his mark had been left unchanged; maintained his progression with Killarney win; realistic chance of a four-timer now.
